Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 565 I inexplicably felt like I'd been taken advantage of.

After exchanging glances, Chu Xin gestured for Zhou Yichen to drag her into the room for a proper "exchange," but he unexpectedly grabbed her.

"If you're not afraid of getting into trouble, there's nothing you can't know about this matter, and there's no need to avoid suspicion."

That bastard is trying to provoke her?

Chu Xin pulled her hand away irritably. They were already in the same boat; she couldn't possibly jump off halfway.

"Get lost. I've been interrogating people since early morning, it's exhausting, okay? I'm too lazy to listen to anything more brain-taxing. Just tell me the result and let me have some peace and quiet."

Having been scolded, Zhou Yichen touched his nose, cleared his throat, and straightened his expression. "Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll be out soon."

Then they went over, scooped up Gao Ziyou, and dragged him into a room.

Chu Xin didn't just stand there waiting in the courtyard. After a moment's thought, she went outside and saw the guard standing there as soon as she opened the door.

He raised his hand in a military salute when he saw Chu Xin, saying, "Comrade Chu."

"Well, since we're just killing time anyway, how about... we chat?"

The guard suddenly felt his skin tighten and cold sweat inexplicably began to break out on his forehead.

Chat?

What could they possibly have to talk about? He couldn't think of anything else besides gossip about the Gao family.

He didn't want to respond.

He then took two steps back to increase the distance between them.

Chu Xin:......

What, is she some kind of monster?

"What are you hiding from? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"

The guard chuckled dryly, "No way, you're overthinking it."

After saying that, he subtly shifted his feet again.

Logically speaking, the Gao family has no secrets from this person, so there's no need to make things difficult for him, an outsider. He's already trying to avoid the chief's private affairs, so how could he possibly be talking about crickets with someone else?

"Comrade, every family has its own problems. Since the leader has some things he doesn't want people to know, you can at least pretend to be ignorant, right?"

Why seek trouble in the house of a lord?

Chu Xin disagreed with what he said, raised a finger and shook it, "Look at what you're saying, I probably know more than you do, what's the point of asking you? I just want to know more about Old Man Gao... how Commander Gao dealt with his eldest son?"

Oh, by the way, is he awake? How is his mobility? Is he drooling or has a crooked mouth? Can he still speak fluently? Most importantly, does he know he's been cuckolded and is raising someone else's son?

Guard: ...

He's not only on the verge of a mental breakdown, he's almost lost the courage to even stand there. This woman is really difficult to deal with.

"Comrade, this is a private matter for the leader's family."

It's really not convenient to discuss this.

Unfortunately, that person only talked about himself.

"Oh, so the person has woken up but we haven't told him the truth yet. But even if you don't tell him, we'll tell him the truth. Don't forget he's still involved in the case. When we explain the connections to him, given his sickly constitution, he'll probably die soon, right?"

The guards started sweating again.

So how exactly did the Gao family offend this woman that she was so eager to kill them?

He was now eager to run to the leader and tell him that there was an even bigger wave of trouble to come in the Gao family.

"Hehe, what you say is true, but this is a private matter for the leader's family, and I really can't discuss it."

I hope you won't discuss this anymore, or at least not say these things in front of him.

Chu Xin nodded seemingly casually, "Yes, that makes sense."

She doesn't care about the Gao family as a whole; she just wants certain people to suffer some retribution. He's paralyzed, but there's no reason for him to feel at ease as a "victim" as if nothing has anything to do with him.

The Gao family couldn't possibly not report Yu Jing's incident to higher authorities. However, given the past incidents where the Gu and Chu families were implicated by Chu Ge, the organization is unlikely to completely strip Old Man Gao of his position. After all, his contributions over the years are undeniable. Moreover, Yu Jing was only concerned with making a fortune for herself and her son, and her mind wasn't on those matters, so she didn't really cause any major trouble.

What she just told Old Man Goriot was a mix of truth and falsehood, intended to trick him into not daring to gamble.

The guard didn't believe that Chu Xin's casual remark meant she was done talking about it, but all he could do was listen quietly and wait until she left before reporting the situation to his superior.

Let him bear all the troubles by himself.

It was clear that the other person didn't want to say much, so Chu Xin only needed to get some information out of him. She didn't intend to really make things difficult for a guard, so she said:

"Well, go ahead and do what you need to do. We'll leave once Zhou Yichen comes out. We won't linger at the Gao family's place. Don't worry, I won't wander around aimlessly either."

The guard was somewhat skeptical. "Really?"

“Realer than real gold!”

With a sigh of relief, the guard's expression relaxed considerably. "Alright, Comrade Chu, you stay here and don't move around. I have other things to attend to."

Chu Xin inexplicably felt like she had been taken advantage of, and waved him away, saying, "Alright, do you think I'd steal anything? If you don't leave, I'm really going to take a look around."

Upon hearing this, the guard dared not say anything more, saluted, and quickly left.

Chu Xin puffed out her cheeks. Why was she running so fast? It was as if she had bullied him.

……

Even if Chu Xin hadn't mentioned it, Old Master Gao had already thought of his eldest son, who was unable to take care of himself in the hospital.

Given his condition, the Central Special Branch certainly wouldn't take him away or interrogate him, but that's definitely not a good thing.

A person who lacks the ability to defend themselves has no choice but to accept whatever others say.

Of course, we won't wrong him too much.

Therefore, when Old Master Gao chose to protect Gao Ziyou and Gao Ziyang, he had already abandoned his eldest son, who was like a troublemaker.

Patting his tearful wife comfortingly, Old Master Gao waved for the guard to leave first.

"I understand what you're saying. Sigh, the best thing to do is not to force things now. Take Ziyou to the hospital as soon as they leave."

Speaking of this, he remembered Gao Ziyang. Because he was so disappointed in him, he forcibly took him away and put him directly on a train to be sent to the countryside. By now, Gao Ziyang should have already left Ning City.

He thought for a moment and said, "Keep a close eye on finding a doctor for Ziyou. It's best to find one before the organization announces its decision regarding the Gao family, otherwise... I'm afraid it won't be enough time..."

"Fortunately, the second and third sons' families and our daughter's side are not involved in this matter, otherwise it would be really difficult to handle. These things in the family should be kept from us. As I said before, it's not too late to inform them after the results are out."

The guard nodded, taking the instructions seriously despite having been given repeatedly.

Finally, there's the matter of arranging things for Gao Zishuo, which is a problem.

Grandpa Gao's intention was to send Gao Zishuo to the countryside, just like Gao Ziyang. After all, he was once a descendant of the Gao family, and he had been calling him "Grandpa" for more than ten years. However, his wife now hated Yu Jing so much that she resolutely disagreed with taking care of Gao Zishuo and insisted that the child was an illegitimate child.

"Ugh!"

Grandpa Gao sighed, "Ask Yu Yin what the outcome will be. If he's released, send the child over there. I believe that since they're father and son, they won't mistreat him."

The guard responded again.

But Old Mrs. Gao suddenly exploded, "What's wrong with you? I already said I wouldn't care, and if he dies, it's his mother's fault. Why are you still making arrangements for his future?!"

If it weren't for his slutty mother, would our eldest son be in this state now? His wife and children are gone! I hate her so much!

"Punish them all severely, preferably to death, and maybe Ziyou will forgive his father!"

Even in this state, the old man was still worried about what would happen to other people's children. She felt very sorry for her eldest son.

Although Old Master Gao loved his wife dearly, he would never let her tantrums become a reality. Besides, if she really did that, what would outsiders think of the Gao family?

Since we're already going to lose face, let's try to be as dignified as possible.

Ignoring the shrill cries of those around him, he looked firmly at his guard and said, "Do as I say, go!"

Even after the guards had left, Mrs. Gao continued to argue, but Mr. Gao remained resolute and refused to change his mind.

In fact, he understood it better than she did. The hatred and estrangement between Ziyou and his eldest son could not have been caused by Yu Jing alone. The biggest knot between them lay with their deceased former eldest daughter-in-law.

Just as people often say, the living can never win against the dead, and the knot in the hearts of the father and son, which has become an unbreakable bond, will never be untied by any living person.

The care and love that his former daughter-in-law gave Ziyou was something his eldest son could never match.

Old Master Gao knew this very well.
